88 Keys: Movies about Pianos

Thursday November 21, 2013
6:45 PM The fourth and final film in our Fall Film Festival about pianos is Shoot the Piano Player from 1960. From François Truffaut this French crime drama is part thriller, part comedy, and part tragedy.

It relates the adventures of mild-mannered piano player Charlie as he stumbles into the criminal underworld and a whirlwind love affair. Loaded with gags, guns, clowns, and thugs, this is a razor-sharp homage to the American gangster film.

92 minutes. Not rated.
